The bot that books while you sleep: Conversation AI

Deploy GHL’s Conversation AI to answer, qualify, and book across SMS and chat, rolled out supervised so it earns autonomy instead of assuming it.

1. 1

   Give it one job

   The winning first deployment: answer common questions and book the calendar. Define the goal, the calendar it books, and the questions it must ask. Vague scope makes hallucinating bots.

2. 2

   Feed the knowledge base

   Load business facts: services, hours, pricing posture, service area, policies, FAQs. It answers from what you feed it; thin knowledge means invented answers.

3. 3

   Configure channels and personality

   Choose where it operates (SMS, web chat, social DMs), name it honestly (do not pretend it is human when asked), and match the brand voice in its instructions.

4. 4

   Start in suggestive mode

   Run supervised first: the AI drafts, a human approves each send. Review a week of drafts, correct the knowledge gaps its mistakes expose, then graduate to autopilot channel by channel.

5. 5

   Define the escape hatch

   Certain triggers always route to a human: anger, refunds, complex quotes, anything legal or medical. Configure handoff and make sure the human actually gets notified.

6. 6

   Audit weekly

   Read a sample of conversations every week forever. Update the knowledge base from real questions; the bot is a living asset, not a set-and-forget toggle.
